Engelhart had been missing since July 24th, 2003. Though his body was never found, prosecutors had enough evidence to charge Flaiz with murder.

Engelhart's family said they're pleased to see justice finally take its course, but it doesn't bring peace.

"One of the most terrible things that can happen to a family is to be left hanging with no closure," said Kevin Engelhart, Mark's brother.

Part of the problem is Flaiz hasn't been very cooperative. He suffers from Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia. He told prosecutors a moth was eating his brain, and his only relief was to kill Engelhart.

The court considers Flaiz substantially dangerous to others. So instead of prison, Flaiz will spend the rest of his natural life under the eye of the state's Psychiatric Security Review Board. And the Engelharts add they will forever miss their beloved father, husband and brother.

"If you had something bothering you, it didn't matter, night or day he had time to talk to you. And he would give you the best advice that he had. A true friend and a brother," said Engelhart.

Right now investigators are still looking for Engelhart's body. Wednesday investigators went looking in a forest area about an hour outside of Hermiston.
